Glasses not only half full and fighting for thanksgiving

So my parents-in-law are here!!!! 

So glad!!!  I can't begin to tell you how glad!!

Earlier today we went (Husband and I) to IKEA and 

we got a shoe shelf thing and 2 of the middle glasses in this picture

and 2 boxes of the ones next to it.

I had actually like the middle ones better but price difference and Husband

changed my mind + the other glasses were boxed and the middle ones were not.

I am having one of those hard to be thankful

days and I really need to change that.

It's silly.

I have so much.

***

It's actually more that I don't know how to deal with the unbloggable stuff

and am struggling to be thankful in the midst of challenges.

I will leave it at that 

and pray that tomorrow I wake up seeing deeper within that

thankfulness and joy because of Christ are what I need,

not anything else, including dishes, as much as I love them,

as you know I do.

I want to be fighting for thanksgiving.

It is thanksgiving to God that will save me now and in the end.
